Model comparing pre–SARS-CoV-2 versus SARS-CoV-2 periods run separately from model comparing SARS-CoV-2 testing status to pre–SARS-CoV-2. Covariates for the SARS-CoV-2 testing status models are shown; covariates did not significantly vary by model. All models also control for hospital demographics: urban/rural, teaching status, bed size, and region.
